Quinces 
These succeed best in strong, clay soils, in special localities, and in the Pidmomt section. They can be 
grown in bush form. Being somewhat subject to leaf-blight, the trees should be sprayed with Bordeaux 
Mixture before the buds swell, repeating the spraying throughout the summer at intervals, as necessary. 
However, in some situations, Quinces seem to be free of blight.

Nut-Bearing Trees 
Almonds 
Almonds can be sucessfully grown in some sec¬ 
tions of the South, but, owing to their early bloom¬ 
ing periods, the fruit is sometimes killed by late 
spring frosts. The Almond requires the same culti¬ 
vation as the Peach.

Walnuts 
ENGLISH OR PERSIAN WALNUTS 
(Juglans Regia) 
The English Walnut requires a rich, well-drained 
and preferably stony soil. Never plant in hard pan, 
heavy clays, or soils which are not properly drained. 
In some sections of the Eastern and Southern States 
the English Walnut is quite successfully grown. The 
trees we offer are all grown from the best French 
seed, and have been transplanted.

Pecans 
Where soil and climatic conditions are proper, it has been practically demonstrated that Pecan-growing 
is a paying investment; but only grafted or budded trees of well-known and meritorious varieties should be 
planted, and these varieties should have the following qualifications: Large size, good flavor thin shell 
easy-cracking quality, and freedom from disease; furthermore, the purchaser should know that the trees are 
propogatcd from grafts or buds taken from good, bearing trees. 
It is a well-established fact that some varieties of Pecans, the same as with other fruits are adapted to 
certain localities, whereas the same varieties are not so good in other localities. It is not vet known which 
variety is adapted to the greatest number of localiti-s. There are scores of varieties now cultivated and new 
sorts are being advertised every year, but a half-do :en of the best tested and well-known sorts would be 
amply sufficient for any commercial grower. 
Pecans should be planted from 50 to GO feet apart, according to soil, but this must be good; although 
the Pecan adapts itself to a great variety of soils—the rich alluvial soil of the river bottom and high land 
of the sandy pine levels. The Pecan grows well on sandy land having a clay sub-soil, but it will not 
flourish in deep sand. Never set a Pecan in pipe cl-y land, or that which is not well drained. If the land 
sours the tree will die or will be so badly injured that it will never give satisfactory results. If you expect
